Pasting my answer to the same question from #svn-dev:
09:17 <@dannas> Bert: Yeah, the url-fetching and switch detection is
sub-optimal at the moment. I just set out to replace the entry calls,
thinking I could optimize for performance later but I should have
atleast written a TODO about it,
09:17 <@dannas> If we call assemble_status() from
send_status_structure() with my next patch for removing entry->url usage
there we may end up fetching the url for the same path three times! :)
09:18 <@dannas> I'll loook into you suggestion later today, it makes a
lot of sense.
09:20 <@dannas> The only thing I need to add is a way to detect if our
path is wc_root.
09:21 <@dannas> It was the problem to detect a wc-root that lead me to
use the bulky svn_wc__check_wc_root()
